Supreme Court Shuts Down Enviros’ Attempt To Block Nuclear Plant

The Supreme Court rejected an appeal that sought to block the construction of a nuclear reactor in Michigan, dealing a heavy blow to environmental groups that have been fighting the proposal for a decade. The Supreme Court decided on Tuesday not to consider an appeal from a coalition of anti-nuclear and environmental groups hoping to block the construction of Fermi 3, a proposed reactor near Monroe, Mich. Despite the setback, opponents of the project are vowing to continue fighting on, and hope to eradicate all nuclear power in the state. DTE Energy, a Detroit-based utility, originally filed for approval to build the reactor back in 2008. The arduous approval process — and vehement pushback from environmental activists — has left actual completion uncertain.
